Who wants Airtran?

[roughneck]

$280 million will buy you airtran. You might get a couple of hundred million in cash with the deal. The convertable notes aren't due for years to come.

Any bidders?

 

[FlyWolf]

Maybe TPG will buy Airtran and Frontier, then combine Airtran, Spirit, Midwest and Frontier, I think that will be a descend size airline, and call the new airline MIDWEST

How about Eastern Air Lines?

 

[FlyWolf]

sure why not, I am sure between all our seniority lists we will have enough ex-Eastern guys.

 

[FlyWolf]

Any other suggested names before we close the deal?

 

[FlyWolf]

I think we need Alaska too to get close to SWA size

How about from the thread starter: "Descend Airlines"

 

[FlyWolf]

Yeah, not bad, How about "AirONE" since few airlines will become ONE.

 

[TV9Driver]

I always liked the names proposed when we (aai) and Midwest were talking merger... MidAir Airways

F Timmy Airways

Delta and Northwest need 737-700's and 717's to fill the 70 to 150 seat gap, as well as to undo the revenue carnage of having AAI in their hub cities.

Of course, that will never happen. Maybe NWA should have bought AAI, then merged.

Spirit, Airtran and Midwest.

SPAM Airlines.

It makes sense. A bunch of parts from the same animal all jammed together in the same can, while management tries to sell it for twice its real value.

I'm just kidding.

Good Luck guys.

It's already been done and is operating under the name, "US Air."

 

[calfo]

I've always wanted to name an airline "Impact Airlines".

That chick to your left is my cousin. Lucky for me I am adopted

Ironic

 

[CoolSidePillow]

I like the name "Airline"
all white plane with black letters like the old generic stuff in the supermarkets. I would like to make the logo such that the "l" in the name was shaped like a middle finger. I wanted the comet Halle-Bop to hit the planet too. Oh well, so much for winning the good end on a chicken wishbone.

What is with FL sending letters out about COBRA rights? That cannot be good.

 

[satpak77]

how many ex-Eastern guys still fly these days in a 121 job? jeez I thought they were all gone by now

 

[Muppets]

Just a friendly reminder about COBRA insurance. It would have saved money to send my furlough letter with the insurance info. What a bunch of a-holes!
